Hi,
My colleague & myself were looking at a programme submitted by the Main Contractor to the design team.
The Contract was based on scheduled dates say; start 5/02/07 and completion/handover on 29/11/07.
We noticed that the submitted programme version 002 do not have RED line showing the Critical Path. This version 002 is incorporated into the Contract Documents.
The version 002 was a result of amending the tender version 001 (start date 2/01/07) to reflect the actual start date (5/02/07)but still complete on 29/11/07.
Our analysis is that version 002 should be used as this is the Contract Programme but we can’t determine which activities are on the Critical Path.
Should we want to find out if an introduction of a variation which might affect an activity, whether that activity is on the critical path, how can we find out?
Just because the Critical Path is not shown on version 002, could we determine the critical path from the existing data?
What should we look out for?
Could any of you specialist/expert programmer enlighten us?
If no Critical Path is shown, does that mean the Main Contractor do not have any activities that are critical & they have committed to complete on 29/11/07 ONLY?
Thank you
